Former Super Eagles captain and goalkepper Vincent Enyeama was the star of the show despite Lille’s 1-2 loss to PSG in a Ligue 1 tie yesterday.
Enyeama returned back to the line up for Lille after missing their last two games due to injury, and the shot stopper immediately showed the club what they have been missing.
He made save after save in the first half, and probably had more touches than some outfield players of Lille, before he was finally beaten by a flick header from Edinson Cavani.
The peak of his saves was denying Angel Di Maria well hit drive at close range, a save which has been severally reviewed by the French media, with most terming it almost unbelievable.
